Do you know what your natural talents are? Do you get to do what you do best every day?
The Science of Strengths Decades of research into talents and success have shown that the talents most related to potential for success can be grouped into 34 themes. • The Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment was created to measure the presence of talent in these 34 themes • Over 14 million people have taken the assessment
Signature Themes • Your Top 5 themes are your signature themes. • They are your natural patterns of thought and behavior that you use the most. • Your themes are your most powerful source of strength. • How can you use them to plan your career?
The Right Fit • Choosing a career is about the right fit • When you find a career that fits you, work doesn’t seem like work • Maximize your greatest talents • Become the best of who you already are • What is “fit” all about? • Who you are • What you do
The Right Fit • One definition of a “calling” is “where your deep gladness meets the world’s deep needs.” • What is your “deep gladness”? • What do you love to do? • When are you “in the zone”? • StrengthsFinder is not a career inventory • It helps you identify and develop your areas of greatest talent • It helps you answer… • What am I passionate about? • The most meaningful thing I’ve ever done is? • I come alive when I’m…?
Your CV, Cover Letter and Interview Think about the job, company and culture you are applying to…. • Use your Top 5 to communicate : • How your talents will add value • To the company culture • To the role you apply for • What you need from a workplace • Some examples
